This error indicates that you do not have the required prerequisite to register for a specific course.
Example: ENC 1101 is the prerequisite for ENC 1102
Example: Before you can register for a math class you will need the appropriate math placement score (Test Score Error)
Please see the course catalog or the Department Course Schedule for specific prerequisite requirements.
Link Error: D1 (L2, D2, C1)This error indicates that you are missing a LAB or a DISCUSSION that is a co-requisite for the course you are trying to register for.
Example: BSC1005 + L (L = Lab)
Example: ANT2000 + D (D = Discussion)
Solution: Go back to the Departmental Course Schedule and find the corresponding LAB or DISCUSSION section by clicking on the CRN of the lecture course. It will state: “To register for this section, please also register for one of the following sections: 12345, 67891, 98765”
NOTE: Make sure you submit both the CRN for the Lecture and CRN for the Lab/Discussion at the same time when you register for the course.
Department Permission Required (IN or DP)If on the Department Course Schedule you see the letters IN or DP next to the waitlist column, you won’t be able to register for that particular section and will have to pick a different one.
Time Conflict
This error indicates that you are trying to register for a course that conflicts with a different course you are trying to register for or have already registered for.
Example: CHM2045 has a required MONDAY exam time. Please take note of this time when registering for additional courses.
Solution: You will need to go back to the departmental course schedule and find a different time for the course you are trying to register for.
Co-requisite Error - CORQ REQ

Solution: You will need to register for both CHM2045+L and MAC1105 at the same time.
